song of the moment...

Justin Timberlake - Not a Bad Thing

Omg. I'm currently obsessed with this song. I can't stop listening to it! It has such a great Pop and R&B feel to it and it gives you that feeling of wanting to fall in love. Almost like having butterflies in your stomach, but not...well at least it does for me. Haha. Even the lyrics are super sweet. Well done, JT. You've outdone yourself once again. Was this song written for me? It's ok...we don't have to tell Jessica Biel.

Now, go check out the music video that came out yesterday. Trust me when I say this, but you're gonna want to see more after you're done watching it. Just don't get mad at me like other people have. Haha. ;)

book two.

Sorry for my absence again, but guess who finished book two?! I did!

I'm not gonna lie, but I got into a weird funk last month and did not feel like doing anything at all. I did, however, start to knit a couple of cowls for some friends, which I still need to finish. I don't know what it was about last month, but I was so not motivated to do anything! Maybe it was the snow!

Anyway, the last week of the month, I finally realized that I don't want to be that d-bag that writes down all these resolutions at the beginning of the year and fail miserably by the next month. So, I grabbed the first book that I found in my bedroom and read it from beginning to end. This book was Tuesdays with Morrie by Mitch Albom.

I cannot begin to tell you how much I love this book. I borrowed this book a while back from my best friend and never got around to reading it til now. I don't know what took me so long, but I really wish I read it sooner. It teaches you that many people today do not appreciate life and the simple things it has to offer. People today have become so materialistic and money hungry that it became so easy to take things for granted. This story has definitely opened up my mind and help me appreciate everything and everyone around me more than I already have, which I honestly did not think was possible. The book was an easy read and didn't take long to finish. Be warned though, it will bring you to tears. I feel like I was crying throughout the whole thing. I had to stop a couple of times to wipe some tears away cause the words were starting to get blurry. Haha. It's such a beautiful story and I highly recommend it. I can honestly say that this book helped me get out of my weird funk this month and I'm so thankful for it. I'm again motivated, especially to read more books and follow through with my resolutions. Now, your turn to read it! Go!

book one.

You'll be proud to know that I'm really trying to stick to my New Year's resolutions. I've been drinking a lot of water lately and I feel like I've seen a difference with my skin. My skin hasn't been as dry, which is awesome. Also, I finished my first book for the month of January! This month's book was Lauren Conrad Beauty by Lauren Conrad. I got her book for Christmas from Sheila and I absolutely love it!

Her book covers everything from skin care, diet, makeup, hair, and nails. I learned lots of tricks and tips from it and if you are a beginner with everything beauty related like myself, then I think you'll find this book pretty interesting and helpful. I actually really enjoyed reading it. I mean who knew there were different types of hair brushes?! Haha. It's a pretty easy read and I do recommend it to others. You should check it out! I also have her style book, which I'm looking forward to reading, but I think I'll save it for another month. =)

Hope you guys had a great Super Bowl weekend! How about them Seahawks?! Congratulations Seattle for winning!!

sad.

I just got the news that my Godfather passed away this morning. I wasn't close to him or anything, but the whole thing has really hit me kind of hard. He collapsed and fell into a coma about a week or two ago. Then they had to take him off life support because he had no brain activity and he passed this morning. I guess I'm taking it hard because I never really got to know him because of the distance and it's really starting to hit me that I'm getting older, which means all my loved ones are as well. I'm so used to living life with these people around me, thinking everyone is still the same and remembering them how I did when I was younger. And in the blink of an eye, everyone, including me, has aged. I don't know how ready I am for this kind of change in my life. I guess I'll admit that I'm bit scared. Not of death per se, but of losing more of my loved ones. How do you prepare for something like this? Or can you even prepare? I don't know...I can't even imagine what my aunt and cousins are feeling right now... Sending all my love to them right now.

 My baptism

Well anyway, today is the Super Bowl. Broncos vs Seahawks. Is everyone ready for the awesome commercials and the half time show?! Haha. Just kidding. I am actually excited to watch the game. It's the second time the Seahawks are in the Super Bowl so they're probably so motivated to win. And come on, we all know that Peyton Manning is good. So, it's going to be a good game! And how can I not watch?! New York is hosting this year! Who are you rooting for?
